Yupei P. Hu, MD, MPH

Remède provides specialized treatment for OCD, anxiety, and related conditions through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and medication management. Dr. Hu has treated individuals with OCD and anxiety-related disorders for the past 16 years. Her approach integrates evidence-based CBT methods, including exposure and response prevention (ERP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and DBT skills. A significant portion of the practice is dedicated to treating OCD across the lifespan, with care tailored to children, adolescents, college students, adults, and families.

Remède specializes in OCD and related co-occurring conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and tic disorders. Treatment integrates evidence-based CBT approaches, including ERP, ACT, DBT-informed skills, parent guidance, and school consultation when appropriate. For more complex presentations, Remède’s multidisciplinary approach aims to address symptoms in an integrated and systematic way, rather than treating one symptom at a time.

A native of Taiwan fluent in Mandarin and English, Dr. Hu specializes in the intersection of eastern philosophy and American acculturation. Having immigrated to the U.S. in 2009, she brings lived experience and deep empathy to the challenges of cultural adjustment. At Harvard Counseling and Mental Health Services, she served a diverse international student body and underrepresented minority populations. Her practice provides culturally sensitive, evidence-based care that honors the unique intersectional identities of every patient, ensuring that clinical interventions are harmonized with their specific cultural values and family backgrounds.

Dr. Hu’s expertise is rooted in her experience as a Taiwanese immigrant and her clinical work at Harvard Counseling and Mental Health Services. As a mother of two sons in the Boston area, she brings personal empathy to the challenges of navigating local cultural and educational systems. To address common barriers, she maintains a psycho-educational blog on cultural adjustment. Her practice provides intersectional care that bridges the gap between traditional family values and evidence-based mental health.
